    Of which the active ingredient is citronella.

    Any liquid with this in it will serve as a bug repellent.

    Buy a small bottle of the essential oil, mix it with baby oil?

    the lifestyles deet based stuff does'nt effect the midges of glyncorrwg..also it melts your clothes...go for a natural citronella based one...helps if you have a curry and a few beers the night before also..
